Comments Thread For: Roach First Noticed Manny's Compassion With Margarito

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, he first noticed eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38KOs) displaying in-ring compassion on November 13, 2010 - the night Pacquiao unleashed a vicious twelve round beating on Antonio Margarito at Cowboys Stadium in Texas.

Roach says he caught Pacquiao talking to Margarito during the championship rounds of the fight. Pacquiao was trying to find out if Margarito was "okay" from all of the punishment he was taking. Margarito suffered a broken orbital bone in the contest. [Click Here To Read More]

No denying he was compassionate there. Pulled back so the worst thing he go was a detached retina

As a pacquiao fan, I'm sick and tired of this lame compassionate excuse. Until he starts knocking people out, I call bs.

Margarito fight yes. No compassion in the JMM or Mosley fights though. JMM fought a good fight that seemed to surprise Manny. Most going into that fight wrote off JMM thinking he couldn't deal with a welterweight Manny. I think Manny might have written him off as well. Mosley got hurt early and used movement and just didn't engage. Manny would have likely tried to KO Mosley had he been able to find him. Saying he had compassion for all these guys and that's the reason they went 12 is a discredit to those fighters mentioned.

I agee with Freddy he should have stopped Margarito, Mosley and probably Bradley he did have Bradley hurt a couple of times but didn't go for the kill. Hopefully he does this time to shut Bradley's big mouth

My feelings exactly

I disagree with Roach. I believe that it was in the Shane Mosley fight, where we first began noticing Manny's compassionate side; As he would touch gloves with him after each bell to start every round. However, with Margarito it was the complete opposite. He appeared very eager to want to hurt and knock him out with the amount of punches he threw and landed against him.

It was Shane touching gloves. Manny was hitting them aggressively saying "let's fight". Manny just looked like **** not being able to cut off the ring against a super shot Mosley who simply came to pick up his check. That doesn't equal compassion. It just showed once again manny was lost when movement was involved

We all know Marga was just too big for Pac to knockout. The best Pac could've done was to grt Marga to take a knee and say "no mas!" But we know too Margo wasn't going to do that so credit to Pac for being merciful. MARGO could have lost that eye not just a retina.

And Mosley...the guy didn't want to get knocked out, he ran. He didn't box. If Bradley or Floyd thought that was a blue print they'd get shut out justnlike Mosley did.
